Hope you guys do not mind me relying on your experience to help me decide on a generator. After the tornados put the hurt on the state, I said I would get a whole house generator. I have a small Honda and it sure was a life saver, but being the softy I am, I want all my conveniences. Just to get us on the same page, my research has got me looking at a Briggs and Stratton 15kW. There are some diff 15kW models, but I think they relate mostly to transfer switches. Looking at LP, would consider diesel, Maybe, auto start, some kind of monitor system etc. A place called Norwall Power Sys has it for $3164 free shipping, probably have to buy transfer switch separate.
